Will the backlash from the public about "Pelicans" change Benson's mind?

I feel like people actually believe that there's a name we could have chosen that would have been universally awesome and pleasing to everyone.

If you don't like Pelicans (or whatever name they call them), should have put your $338 million up and named them whatever you wanted to.

No! Needs to leave it the Pelicans.

Bottom line is he will get a backlash on any name he picks.

I think so. It's interesting that after 3-4 days Drew Brees went to social media and did a fan poll. Why would he do that? Doing that seems like a slap to the face of the man paying you $100mill. Orrrr did Benson see the backlash an say Drew, the most popular man in New Orleans, do a fan poll "on your own" to see what fans think.


My 2cents.

Whether or not Stern approves. I'll give that 50-50. Otherwise seems to be a done deal.

Truth is the people that don't like it are going to be more vocal and stand out more. Anyone that thinks the name is okay or genuinely likes it won't be going on Facebook and Twitter coming up with a dozen ways to say how much the name is awesome.
